Parmesan crusts

[sunnyhunny]

I buy samll blocks of Parmesan to grate for pastas etc. I've been putting the crusts in the freezer for ages. Any suggestions as to a recipe they could be used in please?

I use them to add flavour to stocks and stews, especially tomato based ones - remove the rind before serving though !

It's also quite interesting to add a rind to some plain boiled rice - it adds a lovely nutty taste !

If you google *parmesan rind recipes* rather than *parmesan crusts* you will find a whole rack of recipes out there !

I keep them for stews as well. Whenever I make a bolognese I lob one in at the start and fish it out before serving.

Thank you both for this. I've just registered with this site and think it's brilliant! Many well informed people out there.
